Tramadol misuse in treatment-seeking adolescents and young adults with problematic substance use - Prediction of treatment retention.
Article in Addictive behaviors reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Non-medical prescription use of opioids (NMPUO) is a public health concern worldwide. Recently, tramadol misuse is increasing, but the systematic research of misuse of this specific opioid is limited. This study set out to assess the relationship between tramadol use and completion of treatment for substance use among adolescents and adults ≤ 25 years in an outpatient clinical setting. A retrospective cohort study of treatment outcome, expressed as "completion" or "non-completion" of treatment, was conducted in treatment-seeking adolescents with problematic substance use (n = 335). Data was extracted from Ung-DOK interviews, a semi-structured assessment instrument designed for adolescents with substance abuse. The study included all treatment-seeking patients at an out-patient facility in 2014-2017. A total of 26% (n = 88) were tramadol users (life-time prevalence). Twenty percent (n = 66) of all treatments were non-completed. Tramadol users were significantly more likely than non-users to drop out of treatment (35% vs 15%, p < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression, tramadol use and age 18 and above were factors significantly associated with non-completion. Tramadol use was statistically significantly associated with non-completion of treatment. Further research addressing treatment needs and treatment completion among tramadol users is needed.
